Do i have any chance for a golf scolarship?

Question

im an incoming softnore, and i shot mid to low 80's my freshmen year.... would i have to send any kind of videos to colleges (any colleges)?

Answer 1

My son shot in the low 70s his senior year and qualified for the final day of the state finals. We sent information to over 70 schools and got no replies. He finally went to a small Division I school and walked on. He was red shirted and received a 3/4 scholarship for the following 4 years. He ended up playing number one his senior year. I would suggest that you study hard, work on your spelling and continue to improve your golf game

Answer 2

U sound like an excellent candidate. I won $6500 with local scholarships. It easier that way with many small ones than the bigger ones. Community service and a good education record/character will help u.

Best of luck!!!

Answer 3

Well, shooting in the mid to low 80's isn't anything special when we're talking about highly competitive golf.  You are really going to need to drop your score to around an average of 72, 73 before you're going to be considered.  If you get to that point then you can start taking videos and keeping a record of your scores that you can send in to colleges.  Even then, there are numerous kids who are just as good, if not better than you, who are all trying to get noticed so it will be a long road.  Your best option may be to walk on at a D3 school.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Spelling is a key!

I'm

Golfers are expected to be some of the smarter scholarship athletes. Also for Golf like many other smaller sports you would most likely be looking at partial scholarships so that your team can be good. The coaches like to spread what little money they have around.

Mid to low 80's are pretty average for High School Golf. You'll need to get consistently into the mid 70's to be considered for a scholarship. You should also enter as many USGA local tournaments as you can. This will get your name out there. Videos should be created and sent from your coach but are not as important as scorecards and tournament results.

Answer 6

First, learn to spell. Then get much competition under your belt. If you are consistently in the top five and win at least a third of the tournaments you enter there may be a chance. In the low 80s as a freshman won't do the job.

Answer 7

To get a scholarship, you must be a scratch player or better. You must continue to improve, and win some varsity tournaments. When you get to be your teams #1, then start to send film, and tournament results to the colleges you want to play for. If you are good enough, they will notice.

Answer 8

yes that would probly be a good idea that way thry can se how you play incase you messd up in a tryout
